  • Description

    Explore two of Chiang Mai's hidden gems on this cultural and scenic tour. Our journey begins at Wat Umong, one of the city's oldest temples. Known as "The Temple of the Tunnels and Buddha Dhamma Garden," this serene, forested temple is perfect for quiet reflection and meditation. Listen to the peaceful chants of monks as you wander through the temple's tranquil grounds. Don't miss the nearby pond, where you can feed the fish, ducks, and turtles. From Wat Umong, we'll take a scenic 30-minute drive to the top of Suthep-Pui National Park, home to the Hmong Hill Tribe, one of Thailand's six major hill tribes. Here, you'll have the chance to explore the local museum, stroll through the beautiful gardens, and visit traditional houses and souvenir shops. We'll also take you to a secret viewpoint for a breathtaking sunset over the village.

    On the way back to the city, we'll stop at the iconic Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Visiting this sacred temple at night is a unique experience—fewer tourists, cooler weather, and a peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect time to admire the golden pagoda and enjoy the stunning nighttime view of Chiang Mai. This tour offers a blend of culture, nature, and tranquility, with a side of authentic local experiences.
